Tuesday 7.30pm: Nottingham Forest v Arsenal
TV: TNT Sports 2
Going to Nottingham Forest has been a difficult assignment for most teams because they sit in, even at home, and hit you on the break. If you can score the first goal that makes all the difference and I think Arsenal have the quality. Nottingham forest 1-2 Arsenal.
Tuesday 7.45pm: Fulham v Everton
I fancy Fulham here, on the basis that they badly need a win. With Everton they’re a bit streaky and their situation just doesn’t seem quite as bad as it did now. At first it was panic stations but that’s worn off a bit now. Fulham 2-0 Everton.
Tuesday 7.45pm: Luton v Brighton
Luton are good at home and they’re a bit like Forest in so far as they’ll sit in with two wide players. The guys they have up front are quick and they load the box from all the set pieces. You’ve got a lot to deal with when you go there but if you can get in front you’re normally okay. Luton 1-2 Brighton.
Tuesday 8pm: Crystal Palace v Sheffield United
What do Crystal Palace fans expect? They don’t have a big budget but they’ve got two outstanding players in Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise. They’re not going to go out and spend fortunes, that’s the way it’s been for a long time. I’ll go for them to win this one, though. Crystal Palace 2-1 Sheffield United.
Tuesday 8.15pm: Aston Villa v Newcastle
TV: TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate
It’s funny with Newcastle. All of a sudden they could lose a few players, it appears that they have to sell someone for FFP purposes. Aston Villa are good at home but Newcastle need to start picking up results so I’ll go for a draw. Aston Villa 1-1 Newcastle.
Wednesday 7.30pm: Manchester City v Burnley
TV: TNT Sports 3
Vincent Kompany will be trying to show Manchester City that he’s got a good team who play exciting football but that’ll just play into City’s hands. Manchester City 3-0 Burnley.
Wednesday 7.30pm: Tottenham v Brentford
TV: TNT Sports 2
Ivan Toney’s back for Brentford and he made a big impact on his return! What that wall was doing I don’t know. He looked good, fit and strong. Tottenham have had a tough run and they had to play Manchester City the other day. You know what, I fancy a Brentford win here. Tottenham 1-2 Brentford.
Wednesday 8.15pm: Liverpool v Chelsea
TV: TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate
I’ll go with Liverpool to win, especially after the news about Jurgen Klopp leaving. Some of Chelsea’s better players are coming back to fitness but I’m not sure where the goals are going to come from. I don’t think they’ll get too many chances. Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea.
Thursday 7.30pm: West Ham v Bournemouth
TV: TNT Sports 2
Kalvin Phillips will be a big boost for West Ham and he’ll be around for this game after a few days training. Bournemouth are in great form though and Dominic Solanke’s in great nick so I’ll have an away win here. They’re a neat team and they have a real go. West Ham 1-2 Bournemouth.
Thursday 8.15pm: Wolves v Manchester United
TV: TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate
I can’t remember the last time Wolves actually lost a game and they’re in good shape. Gary O’Neil’s done an excellent job, especially with they squad they have and the areas that need improving like up front. They owe Manchester United one after that Andre Onana decision last time they met. Football doesn’t work like that though and, God knows why, but I’m going to go for Manchester United! Wolves 1-2 Manchester United.
